inspired by a Bichon Havanais owned by tennis player Venus Williams. Her beloved pooch is named Harold (Harry) Reginald
Williams.

an accident which luckily Harold wasn’t involved in, she’s stopped taking him
along as sources suggest that if he had been in the basket that day, he might
not have survived. Venus is said to have
commented that she wouldn’t know what she would do without her little treasured
four-legged friend. She recently stated
that Harold is the friend who doesn’t care if she wins or loses a tennis match and he’s
always there for her.

is preferred. Some sources suggest a nickname for this breed is Velcro Dog
and that’s because this dog sticks by their owner’s side. Remember, your Bichon Havanais will require
